Well, Superman is an alien only in the most superficial sense. If an alien isn’t going to be a BEM, creating one, or a race, with different body structure, biology, etc., takes work and the result might still turn people off.

I don’t have speakers on the store’s computers, so I can’t be sure — but the visuals made it appear that the “origin” is more like Kyle’s (He happened to be nearby), rather than Hal’s traditional one of the ring specifically seeking him out because he is without fear?

As more movies come out, I realize what a fan of the team books I was as a kid, because I often don’t really know the Rogue’s Gallery of individual characters. I am really embarrassed to admit that I don’t know who the big brain guy is in this. He looks like The Leader, to me, but, yeah… wrong company. Wrong Green-themed-character.

Love Kilowog, tho. The ‘Wog was always one of the most fun sidecharacters.

Am I correct in gleaning that Sinestro isn’t going to go bad in this movie? Saving that for the sequel, I guess? That would be cool. Tho I am sure there will be some inevitable hint to his imppending badness. It’s sorta right there in the name, after all.

Don’t the comics support that Hal got the ring because he was nearby? Maybe they’ve retconned it, but that was the point of Guy Gardner. The ring sought out two potential humans – Guy was just as fearless, but Hal was closer.
